Retour en Égypte

Joseph stands in Egyptian dress above a sunlit settlement, watching a caravan approach through the desert with pack animals and travelers. The scene portrays the return of Joseph’s brothers to Egypt during the famine, coming again to buy grain and bringing Benjamin as required. The palm trees, mud-brick buildings, and distant desert road frame Egypt as a place of both provision and hidden testing. In the biblical account, God uses the famine and the brothers’ journey to draw a fractured family toward repentance, recognition, and eventual reconciliation under Joseph’s wise stewardship.
